The numbers never lie, Trump and the critters in Congress
Bravo to the White House and Congress. The national debt has ballooned $1.3 trillion since January 2017. The federal debt-to-GDP ratio now stands at 105%!! Thank you - thank you, for further bankrupting the country.

Taxing those who DO, giving to those who DON'T
The folks who are getting the free stuff don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff , because the folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff. And the folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop.
And the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more Free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!
Now.. The people who are forcing the people who pay for the free stuff have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff that the people who are PAYING for the Free stuff are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.
So.. The people who are GETTING the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the Free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff and giving them the free stuff in the first place.
We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the Free stuff .

Jim Kelly, hero, tough guy, dad, husband, winner!!
Jim Kelly is the only quarterback ever to lose four Super Bowls. Late-stage jaw cancer makes it hard for him to speak. His son Hunter died at the age of eight after a life-long battle with Krabbe disease, and yet...
He's still undefeated.

On Mental Illness from ZeroHedge
As everyone is finding out, the homeless and mentally have more rights than any of us honest, hard working, tax mules.
I haven't spoken about it recently, as the topic is depressing as hell and too close. My father is a veteran, mentally ill, and has substance abuse problems. I tried to help him but too late. He ended up getting a one-way ticket to Hawaii from LAX. Not just for him, either. He was able to get a homeless charity to buy both him, and his alcoholic GF, tickets to Hawaii, where he is, once again, homeless.
The problem is that the laws dealing with the mentally ill have been gutted and basically destroyed. The only way the police can force someone to be placed in a mental facility, for any length of time, is after they have killed someone. The police, the doctors, the families have been thrown to the wayside. Same for community members. The so-called community mental health centers are a joke. These non-profit charities that supposedly help the homeless do no such thing. Those charities skim the local tax base and farm the homeless.
That homeless charity I volunteered at back in the 1990s, Downtown Emergency Services Center in Seattle, had one shelter and now they own seven fucking buildings! Has homelessness gotten better, or worse, in Seattle, since 1993? I don't know the income of the Executive Director and Assistant Executive Director for DESC but I doubt it is less than 7 figures with invitations to all the city galas and parties and awards that show how much good they are doing for the homeless. Yeah, sure they are. A tiny house village made of plywood shacks that houses 22 people? Pathetic.
Until the laws are changed and the courts make it easier to commit people to mental facilities or substance abuse centers, this problem will only get worse, not better. Or until some type of plague shows up and kills off a lot of them.
There used to be county mental hospitals for a reason. It is where people like this were sent. How is it humane to let them live like animals, on the street? There were vagrancy laws, for a reason.
Without any expectiions of decency, this is the end result. A society where anything goes, from shitting on a public street to walking into the women's locker room because a dude is playing at being a girl that day. The lefttards wanted an anything goes society. This is the end result. A public madhouse or insane asylum.
TED NUGENT
As you know, I go back a good bit with Ted Nugent. Having traversed his ranch in China Springs, TX (the Spirit Wild Ranch) and seeing how Ted conducts his hunting operation, seeing some of the magnificent whitetail deer he raises in a high fence operation and being in front of the camera's with him for 3 days was unique.
Here is some great banter that you should listen to. I think the podcast gets better as it goes along.
Hope you enjoy the Motor City Madman! And Joe Rogan isn't bad either.
Here is another round of Ted Nugent and Alex Jones.

America remove head from ass..............
Ann Coulter wrote the following...............
Mexican drug couriers kill more Americans every week than the Communist Soviet Union did when it shot down Korean flight 007 for flying into its airspace, almost starting a nuclear war.
Obsessing over irrelevant, unsolvable problems in remote parts of the globe is how liberals prove they are intellectuals. North Korea, Syria, Russia -- that's what you're supposed to care about. Not your own country. Only Walmart shoppers care about their own country.
It would be as if in 1939, as the Nazi threat was looming, British newspapers discussed nothing but the bushfires in Victoria, Australia. How many died? Do they need our help? What shall we do? Where does the prime minister stand?

Mnuchin, Treasury Secretary
Stevie Mnuchin failed to report $100 million in assets prior to his confirmation.
I don’t hang with anyone who is so full of shit about lying about what they own.
Bet you don’t either.
Deer ticks in Georgia..........
I lived in Georgia for nearly three decades. The ticks in Georgia are so big you can ride them like 4 wheelers. If you can catch a brood of young ticks and train them well, they can take you places a 4 wheeler can't get into to. Deer are not alarmed by their smell. There is also a great saddle maker for big ticks in Atlanta if anyone is interested!
Typical New York politics................
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a political scion and erstwhile contender for the 2020 Democratic nomination, is fighting for his political future as simmering public outrage over the NYC subway has bolstered a celebrity primary challenger who is attacking Cuomo from the left. And in the latest revelation about corruption - or at least the appearance of corruption - in Albany, the New York Post has published a story about how Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss donated a total of $130,000 to Cuomo's reelection campaign weeks before New York State issued their firm, the Gemini Trust Company, a license to trade bitcoins and other cryptocurrencie

Kim Schaper is lighting up the world.......Go Kim Go!!
“You can’t bullshit a bullshitter.”
For over a decade, I told my family and friends what they wanted to hear.
“I’m happy!” “I’m healthy!” “I’m not engaging in disordered eating behaviors!” “I’ve gained weight!” “I’m not depressed!”
All bullshit.
Eating disorders are all about manipulation. I’ve lived it, breathed it and experienced it all and you can’t bullshit your way through this disease. It’s just like any other addiction, you lie, cheat, hide, steal, avoid, numb out and isolate yourself to continue your behaviors in secret.
I can tell you right now, if you’re still in the midst of an ED, you have to ask yourself how badly do you want it? How badly do you want to get better, or do you?
This shit is NO joke, it takes time, patience, dedication, resilience, sitting in discomfort, quitting the bullshit and owning up to your addiction.
This is why I’m such an advocate for speaking the truth, sharing my life with 100% authenticity and at such a raw level because there are no secrets. Secrets are what keeps you stuck, silent and in denial.
Here’s what I ask you….Are you honest with yourself or are you still in denial?

Kyle Bass talking............
'Global M2 money supply is @ 110%-to-GDP, highest in history. Historically it's at 30-50% and today it's at 110% due to QE. Throw out the text books.'

Stormy, Oh Stormy...........
Stormy Daniels still makes most politicians look bad. She might have screwed a few people but in general, politicians are screwing all of us.
She is honest about what she does while most politicians keep pretending they are the good guys and have a moral authority.

KATY TRAIL Dallas
I love the Katy Trail.
Where are the biker police these days? They were always biking the trail in the mornings. Maybe it's too hot. Maybe the Chief needed them somewhere else.
I wish they were around more often.
And for all those who think the Katy Trail is a perfect spot to allow dogs to defecate you are truly misguided. Pick your SHIT up boys and girls. This isn't your Mom n Dad's backyard where they did the dirty work for FIDO.

ALL you need to know about Anthony Scaramucci.............
Scaramucci told Vanity Fair about what he learned during his very brief stint in the White House:
"You want to talk about the education of Anthony Scaramucci? I learned that the swamp is probably a gold-plated cesspool with no drain. You understand what I'm saying? You can't drain the fucking thing. It's a gold-plated cesspool, and you got cesspool operators in there that know how to slow down disruptors like Donald Trump."
